Rock fans, this is one you won't want to miss! On June 3rd 2025, the Royal College of Music Museum in London will unveil Kurt Cobain Unplugged, an electrifying new exhibition celebrating Nirvana's unforgettable MTV Unplugged performance.
This is not just any guitar. It is the very one Cobain played during the 1993 Unplugged set which later became the most expensive guitar ever sold when Australian entrepreneur Peter Freedman AM purchased it for a record-breaking $6 million.
Cobain's iconic olive-green mohair cardigan, worn during the same performance, will also be on display. This marks the first time these two pieces of rock history will be reunited for public viewing.
Alongside these treasures, fans can explore original Nirvana gig posters, mint-condition collectable vinyl, and rare guitar memorabilia. The exhibition also offers a deep dive into the band's raw energy, Cobain's songwriting genius, and the enduring legacy of Nirvana's music.
